Signe Emmeluth, the dynamic Danish-Norwegian reed player, is back with her superb quartet, Emmeluth’s Amoeba. Featuring Danish piano player Christian Balvig and Norwegians Ole Mofjell (drums) and Karl Bjorå (guitar), they take the stage to let free jazz, improvised music, and contemporary chamber music happily clash into a singular, challenging entity. First stop organised by Kaap, Ostend in collaboration with SiM: Please note that the concerts at Kaap, Ostend will happen temporarily at Thermae Hotel – Zaal Elisabeth, Koningin Astridlaan 7, 8400 Oostende

EMMELUTH’S AMOEBA (NO/DK): Signe Emmeluth – Karl Bjorå – Ole Mofjell – Christian Balvig

After the last scorching performance in the Oorstof series in November 2021 (Het Bos, Paviljoen Ongehoorde Muziek), Emmeluth’s Amoeba now finally returns for a string of anticipated Low Countries appearances. For three of these shows Sound in Motion teams up with partners at Kaap, Ostend (Sun Nov 2nd), POM, Eindhoven (Mon Nov 3rd) and Rataplan/Klankhaven (Thu Nov 6th). With a fourth album – With Love for Moserobie Music Production – scheduled for release in early 2026, the band is setting out to amaze you once more with what Eyal Hareuveni of Salt Peanuts hailed as: “Provocative, mind-blowing and emotionally engaging music.”

Since her first and startling appearance on a Belgian stage at the Summer Bummer Festival in 2019 with Emmeluth’s Amoeba, we have seen the profile of the Danish alto sax player Signe Krunderup Emmeluth steadily rise in the adventurous music scene. Next to a short residence and two shows in the Oorstof series (Het Bos, POM) with Amoeba in 2021, Sound in Motion invited Emmeluth and Mudskipper, with Terrie Hessels, Paal Nilssen-Love, and Hanne De Backer in 2020, and staged collaborations with Jonas Cambien and with Raf Vertessen, Terrie Hessels, and Hanne De Backer at the Summer Bummer Festival in 2021. In 2024 she played one of the most anticipated and most rewarding shows of the year with Paal Nilssen-Love’s Circus at Kaap/Oorstof – don’t miss the upcoming shows at Ha Concerts, Nona and Walter – and earlier in 2025 she impressed in a duo with Hanne De Backer at De Studio/Oorstof.
